Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 655 I prepared a big gift for Xiao Qingyuan

There were only two of them left in the room, and Gu Qianhan walked towards Shen Wantang.

As soon as he held Shen Wantang's hand, he found her account book and a pile of cloth spread out on the desk. The papers scattered beside her were all the costs and profits she had calculated.

With her wedding approaching, she is still busy making money?

He was so nervous that he was a little restless. He had found it difficult to fall asleep since the past two days, let alone today. He was afraid that he might not do something well and let her down, so he did everything himself, big or small.

However, she didn't seem to take this major life event to heart and continued to do her own things step by step.

Gu Qianhan felt a little bitter in his heart. If he hadn't had the advantage of being reborn twice and knowing her for three lifetimes, she probably wouldn't have chosen him as her husband.

Everyone outside thought that Shen Wantang was marrying above her station, but only he knew how much risk she would have to take by marrying him.

She seeks stability so much, and likes to make money and live a rich life so much, so it would be most appropriate for her to marry a stable husband. There is no need for her to marry into the Duke's Mansion.

Shen Wantang keenly noticed that something was wrong with Gu Qianhan.

She followed his gaze and glanced at the things on the desk, knowing that he probably felt uncomfortable because she didn't take the wedding seriously enough - he was not the first one to feel this way. Dujuan and Qinxin had all complained that she was too cold and didn't have the excitement and nervousness a bride should have.

But she actually did have it, but she didn't want to let the strange emotions control herself, so she found something to do, otherwise she would always imagine the scene of Gu Qianhan coming to pick her up tomorrow.

She took Gu Qianhan's hand, pulled him to sit down in front of the desk, and then took a piece of cloth and compared it to him: "Brother, bring these materials. I like this moon-white with gold weave at first sight. I think it will be suitable for making you a brocade robe."

The bitterness in Gu Qianhan's heart was eased a little. It turned out that her mind was not only on making money, she also had him in her heart.

He smiled slightly: "Have you started thinking about making clothes for me?"

"Yes, how about it, do you like this material?"

"like."

Gu Qianhan pulled her onto his lap and held her in his arms: "I like everything you picked."

He still remembered that in his previous life, Xiao Qingyuan wore the silver-gray material that Shen Wantang specially picked for him and showed it off on the streets, so that the material and color quickly became popular throughout the capital.

Now, he finally has such treatment.

He hugged Shen Wantang tightly and spoke softly, but Shen Wantang had grown up reading other people's expressions and was extremely sensitive to other people's emotions. She intuitively felt that Gu Qianhan was still not very happy.

She couldn't help but touch his face, looked up and asked him, "Are you unhappy?"

Gu Qianhan grabbed her hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it: "I'm not unhappy, I just feel that even if we are going to get married, even if you are in my arms, I can still lose you at any time."

Shen Wantang was stunned. She didn't expect that he was so insecure.

Seeing her dazed, Gu Qianhan couldn't help but put his hand on her forehead. He whispered, "Atang, don't leave me. If you think I've done anything wrong, tell me and I'll correct it."

Shen Wantang stepped back slightly, creating some distance between them. Then, she held his face in her hands and said seriously, "I won't leave you. I don't think you've done anything wrong. I'm not really sixteen. I've always thought a lot, and choosing you wasn't a rash move. It's..."

As she was speaking, she suddenly stopped.

Gu Qianhan pressed on: "What is it? Atang, tell me."

Shen Wantang's face flushed slightly: "I realized that I like you."

She liked him, so she could not tolerate marrying someone else, nor could she tolerate the possibility that Gu Qianhan might marry someone else.

Gu Qianhan smiled, lowered his head and kissed her rosy lips. After kissing for a long time, he stopped reluctantly.

He pressed her to his chest, his voice low and gentle, "After all, my attentions were not in vain, and I finally touched you. When I came in and saw the things on your desk, I thought you only wanted the money and not me."

Shen Wantang was helpless. She knew that he was unhappy to see her busy looking at the account book.

How could anyone be jealous of silver?

She had no choice but to hug Gu Qianhan's waist and whispered, "I want the silver, and I want you too. I want it all."

Gu Qianhan was coaxed by her until all the bitterness disappeared, leaving only tenderness in his heart: "Marrying me will not make you short of money, otherwise I would be too incompetent."

"Ah."

Shen Wantang responded softly. She would naturally spend his money and she would not divide it with him so clearly, but this would not prevent her from earning money herself.

As for money, who would complain about having too little?

Feeling that Gu Qianhan's mood had improved, she asked him, "Are you here today just to send me a nanny? Is there anything else?"

"Yes, my men saw your father go to see Xiao Qingyuan. I think something will happen tomorrow. If anything happens tomorrow, don't panic. I will handle everything."

Shen Wantang smiled and said, "It seems you don't know yet!"

"what?"

"My father and Xiao Qingyuan have agreed to have him snatch the bride tomorrow!"

"Bride-stealing?"

"Yes, tomorrow will be quite lively. Second Young Master, are you ready to be kidnapped?"

Gu Qianhan looked at her with both anger and amusement: "Why do I feel like you're just watching the fun?"

"Because I also prepared a big gift for Xiao Qingyuan!"

"What kind of gift?"

Shen Wantang smiled with eyes curved: "You'll know tomorrow, it's very interesting."

Gu Qianhan knew that she was very cunning, so he was not worried that she would be snatched away by Xiao Qingyuan. What's more, if Xiao Qingyuan wanted to snatch her away from under his nose, rebirth once would not be enough. He would have to rebirth hundreds of times to have even a slight chance.

As he was speaking, there was a knock on the door, followed by Nanny Yan's voice: "Second Young Master, it's getting late, you should go back."

Gu Qianhan couldn't help but hold his forehead. "Nanny Yan is an elder in the Duke's Mansion. She's very strict about rules. She didn't agree with my coming today, and now she's urging me to leave. I shouldn't have let her come. If there's anything you don't like about her, just put up with her for one day tomorrow. After we get married, I'll send her back to my mother."

However, Shen Wantang felt that there was nothing wrong with Nanny Yan's behavior. She urged Gu Qianhan to leave for the sake of her, the bride. Otherwise, why would Gu Qianhan stay here?

She smiled and said, "Madame Yan was ordered to come here to protect me, and now it seems she is very competent! You really should leave. If you don't leave now, it will be dawn soon."

Gu Qianhan could only stand up and say, "If you have anything to say, ask Qingjin and Qingyin to pass on the message to me."

"Oh, I see."

Shen Wantang stood up and saw him out. Watching him leave, she felt a hint of anticipation in her heart.

I really don’t know what life will be like after marrying him. It will probably be more interesting than the previous two times!

After all, this was the only time she chose her husband herself.
